Dick's delivery and confrontational style might be off-putting or offensive to some, but the bottom line is that he is RIGHT about the things he is calling people out on.

He's onto Eric (although his perceived motivation is all wrong) and he's onto Dustin. He was onto Kail and her alliance.

I'm no big fan, but I think he could have been one of my favorite players if he had a less confrontational approach and a little more charm to his game.

"And until he's evicted, you can't and won't know what his strategy was going in."

It doesn't matter what his strategy was "going in".

Once he was in, he focused on verbally abusing several of the women in the house.

Yes, I understand that some folks like Dick. Personally, I can't stand him because I hold no respect for men who treat women the way Dick has treated them in the house.

I can't help but wonder what Dick would think if someone in that house treated Danielle the way he has treated Jen/Kail?

"Dick's delivery and confrontational style might be off-putting or offensive to some, but the bottom line is that he is RIGHT about the things he is calling people out on."

He is currently calling Eric and Kail out about their "alliance". Dick has made Kail into a mastermind of this game and he couldn't be more wrong. Not only do they NOT have an alliance, Kail doesn't have a clue how to play this game.

Dick spent a lot of time screaming obcenities at Jen. What?, he was calling her out for being self centered? She may be but that kind of vile, abusive, in your face behaviour has the whole rest of the house, except Dani, ready to nominate and vote him out of there and they are not even at the half way point of the game yet.

Dick is now really mad at Eric and the worst names that he comes up with (unless I've missed a lot) is that he is a weasel and a snake. Compare that to the reprehensible language he used on Jen. Draw your own conclusions.

My own conclusions are that the DR told him not to do any of that stuff anymore. Maybe they showed him footage of his behavior and he realizes he was way out of bounds.

Dick has never gone as overboard trashing any male in that house as he routinely has when he's routinely verbally abused Kail and Jen.

We know that BB warned Dick at least twice....and that was before he went off again and threw Jen's clothes around.

I think you're right on the money, Doublethink.

I've already drawn my own conclusions. And I still like Dick.

Dick isn't a stupid man. but he seems to harbor a great deal of anger and paranoia.

I couldn't figure out why he wanted Nick out. Didn't make sense to vote out an ally at this early stage of the game. I now believe I know why he did it. Dick was afraid that Dani would be a closer ally to Nick than to him, and that she would choose Nick over him in the end game.

Dick's paranoia is in overdrive. As others have said, I'd like to see Dick evicted sooner rather than later.

Obviously, none of us can know how Dick's presense has affected Dani's game and her "persona" in the house. (I wouldn't be surprised to learn that Dani clung to Nick in order to avoid her father.)

Danielle has shown proficiency at the physical contests, and she seems to be pretty sharp. I would very much like to see what she could do without having Dick as an albatross around her neck. I think she might exhibit a different personality and would be free to make alliances with others.

Dick wanted Nick out for Daniele (for her personal life).

So he says, Costacat.

I think there was a bit of "I-want-her-to-myself" in what Dick did. And it worked on that level -- he is now the one she is turning to for everything. It makes Daddy feel important and needed.

Whatever...he made another emotional decision that was a big mistake -- for him and for her.

(quote) "Dick wanted Nick out for Daniele (for her personal life)."

That's what Dick said, and it's just as self-serving as all his other utterances.

I'll stick with my opinion that Dick was afraid he'd be dumped by Danielle in favor of her alliance with Nick.

Dick's behavior in the house is ruled by paranoia and anger. His occasional nice remarks to and about Dani, cover up the fact that he is way too involved with himself to give her any type of emotional support.

Dick was looking after his little girl. Dani was upset about her boyfriend, getting close to Nick, Dick was doing what he thought best for his daughter. He hasn't had much of a chance to help her on the outside (yes, partly his fault), so he took the chance now. I don't think he was even thinking game at that moment, but he was truly afraid Nick was just using Dani, like Boogie used Erica.

Who knows what kind of game either of them would have played if CBS had not capitalized on their family problems.

I'll stand by my statement... Dick was doing what he thought he needed to do to protect his daughter. She had, essentially, cried on his shoulder several times and had told him that she was really confused about Nick. Dick did what he had to do to ensure she didn't hurt herself or her future. Once Daniele gets out of the house, when she's not in the pressure cooker environment, she can then decide if she wants to continue her relationship with Kris or pursue something with Nick.

What was Dick protecting her from that she could not have protected herself from?

She had already said she knew she was messing up her relationship with her BF and she already said she did not now if she could trust Nick.

She knew what she was doing. She knew the consequences. She chose to do it.

So, just what was Dick protecting her from? Herself?

<48> There is far too much conflict of interest on Dick's part to say he was doing it for her.

When you are in the BB house at some point in the game everyone has to be a little sneaky, tell a few white lies, and be a little 2-faced, it has been that way all 8 seasons, its how the "game" has always been played. Dick feels a need to change how the game is played by calling out everyone, verbally abusing women, and being paranoid to the max, thats why everyone wants him out. He just is not enjoyable to watch at all, and it boggles my mind that people actually LIKE him, I myself am not very fond of people that abuse other people, or try to intimidate others for their own personal gain. ( and for those that say it is not abuse, it is to those of us that have lived it before)
As far as Dani, she takes after her dad a lot, she just doesn't vocalize as much as her dad does, and I dont buy the vote nick out to protect my daughter bit at all, If that was the real reson he wouldn't go around saying voting nick out was a huge mistake blah blah blah, he voted out nick for his own personal gain bottom line!

Theoretical question: If Dick and Daniele were nominated at the same time, and Jen won POV. Would either of those two try to persuade Jen to use the POV, and who would they want Jen to take off?

My thoughts: As much as I don't like Dick, and as much as I know he wants to play this game, I still think he would sacrifice his game for his daughter and ask Jen to use it on Daniele.

I agree Doublethink, I think he was considering that when they were both on the block Week 2 and of course didn't need to make that choice when Dani won POV. Despite whatever faults Dick may or may not have, I think he has a deep "motherbear" instinct for his daughter.

IMO at this point in the game, it wouldn't matter if she took dani off the block or not Dick would go home no matter who was sitting next to him. But I could totally see him asking jen to use it on dani, then finding a victim in the house (probably eric still) to rant on and cuss at to try and get the house to vote his way.

Shellylyn - good point and it's actually a good scenario for him. He can save face with how poorly he played this game by saying he did it for his daughter.
